Hanoi 4 Days Travel Guide

📍 Itinerary Overview Planning a 4-day adventure in Hanoi? Let’s gooo! Get ready to explore vibrant city vibes, stunning natural spots, and dive into epic street food scenes. Let’s break down everything you NEED to hit up for your trip! 🚩 Sightseeing Route Start at the buzzing Hoan Kiem Lake (Address: Hanoi Old Quarter, open 24/7) – it’s totally Insta-worthy, especially at sunrise 🌅! Next, wander the Old Quarter’s maze-like streets. Don’t miss the Temple of Literature (58 Quốc Tử Giám, open 8am-5pm), an absolute legend for history lovers. 🏖️ Must-Visit Attractions Hit up the awesome Thang Long Imperial Citadel (19C Hoàng Diệu, 8am-5pm), snap pics at the St. Joseph’s Cathedral (40 Nhà Chung, 6am-7pm), and chill in the lush gardens of Hồ Tây (West Lake, open all day). Quick tip: If you love nature, trek out to Perfume Pagoda – it’s like a real-life fairytale! 😍 A 130-years old al-Noor mosque is an excellent place to visit for muslim travelers to pray and for a quick recharge of one's spiritual energy. 🚇 Transportation Getting around Hanoi is a breeze! Use the local buses, or grab a xe ôm (motorbike taxi) for short trips – pure thrill and cost-effective. The city is also super walkable, especially in the Old Quarter. Grab car is super easy and cheap. 📷 Photo Spots Trust us, your followers gonna LOVE these views! 1. Train Street: Catch the train rolling past tiny cafes (Trần Phú Street, usually open 9am-10pm). 2. Lotte Observation Deck (54 Liễu Giai, open 8:30am-11pm) for unreal cityscape shots. 3. Long Bien Bridge at sunset = ✨magic hour vibes✨. 🍜 Local Cuisine Foodies, assemble! You can’t leave Hanoi without slurping up Pho (find the OG at Pho Gia Truyen, 49 Bat Dan, open 6am-10am, 6pm-8:30pm). Try bun cha (24 Le Van Huu, 10am-7pm) – sooo good! For sweet treats, hunt down egg coffee at Café Giảng (39 Nguyễn Hữu Huân, 7am-10pm). Eggyolk coffee is a must try. 🏠 Accommodation From cute hostels to swanky hotels, Hanoi’s got options for every budget. Check out recommended spots on trip.com for the best deals and reviews. Want central vibes? Stay near Hoan Kiem Lake or Old Quarter so you never miss the action. 💡 Tips Pack lightweight clothes – Hanoi’s weather is usually humid. Cash is king for street food and markets. Be ready to get lost (in the best way)! Don’t forget your camera, portable charger, and adventurous spirit! #diytravel #naturalwonders
